Positivity, has made me liar If Monday I'm burnt, then Sunday was the fire and I feel like the target as my neurons fire If Monday is the con, Sunday was the buyer Dead grass bred by summer night fires If Monday's the invasion, Sunday's the town crier and as the tide withdraws the horizon gets higher If Monday's electric shock, Sunday's a cut wire Bio-Lizard-Gecko-Lifestyle, Oh-I admire If Monday's like cancer, Sunday was the lighter So hard to speak, but my head is a choir If Monday's are the worst, Sunday was a liar Well quarter 4 never fails to distress I hope you stick around, though right now I'm a mess and if I was a ghost, then you'd be looking for me Well I'm not scary I'm scared, I guess that's how it will be.

I arrive late and I never know what to say So I say the only thing I know "I probably should go" and I stand alone, The hot air freezes my bones They don't want me here I'll leave the party I'll hear their voices through the walls I'm so used to listening I hear their voices through walls Wander home and ponder, Why I'm such a bother Girls are so hard to figure out, but so are people all together and everyone else is better, That house won't weigh less if I walk out

The floor, that I made in better days, has, Filled, with the holes of ones let go, and, All I can do is look down the holes to view The ones, who I need, they're sadly missed, and now their gone They're gone (Chorus) Great! I can see the sun, I can see the sun, but, What, it does for me I can hardly see The sun, will rise, and put its light into my eyes and illuminate another boring day with no one around, nothing to say moments, seem so serene as if I'm living in a dream, and sure enough I become aware, out of the dream to a nightmare Maybe I'm just stressed, Or paranoid just like the rest (Chorus) I see them go by, old time friends, don't turn an eye and it's not my fault my mind assures But I know inside it's me who's turned, them all around, and turned their heads towards the ground My floor, could have stayed if I fixed the cracks I made. It'd be nice to forget, But they'll just float around my head (Chorus) Great! The sun went down to bring its happiness around and to wake me up in better days which are to come but not to stay.

Songbird 04:41
Birds of a feather flock together, and a flock of dumb birds smashed our ship Through the atmosphere at last, and here come birds to ruin this trip Through the atmosphere through a hole It's a whole sphere of radiation Why do these birds attack what they don't understand? Cant their brains appreciate the scenes of blue sky, and green grass That now die for them, as if it were a gas station on a road trip through a small town, Like a child that destroys hand-me-downs (Chorus) I am a songbird that cannot sing and they're the ones unworthy of wings It seemed so right it seemed right But now its just a really nice rock to look at They make the same mistake more than once, Seems they've forgotten what's written in their notes A whip inflicts no more pain than can be fixed with words It's the sound that prevents them from hearing other songbirds Why do these birds attack what they don't understand Why can't they just share the gold, and share the land That now dies for them Like their ancestors moral code that was mistook, misunderstood, Of course they'd be the ones to preach it as a history book (Chorus) I think it's time for me to stop pleading I think its time for me to be leaving Intelligence is not what I'm seeing Barely reading, and falsely believing There's about as much brains as their are in a sculpture, with about as much beauty as the Pieta could capture Less bright than the light of a burning wick But it makes me feel so sad, it makes me feel so sick Go!

Soft Melody 04:10
Soft melody, I'm humming all alone. Are you out there? Living without a home Dark, cold distance Deep-rooted manifests These days end, with mundane smog sunsets Are you dead, Are you dead or are you living? Soft melody, I've written once again It's true, You're just synapses in my head Like a chemical dissolving, soothing you Neo-sunrise, is coming into view You're dead, dead inside of me You're dead inside of me
